DotNetNuke® Project :: WebControls

The primary purpose of the DotNetNuke WebControls project is to allow developers to utilize feature-rich controls in their applications without the associated cost or distribution restrictions associated with commercial controls. All controls utilize the ClientAPI, and therefore support a rich client side object model, work cross-browser, and utilize AJAX functionality.

The DotNetNuke TreeView control is an open-source ASP.NET WebControl that has a rich client-side object model and supports advanced featuresets like populate on demand and keyboard navigation.
The DotNetNuke Menu control is an open-source ASP.NET WebControl that has a rich client-side object model and supports advanced featuresets like populate on demand and keyboard navigation (soon).
The DotNetNuke Label Edit control is an open-source ASP.NET WebControl that allows any label to be editable on the client where it uses a client-callback to persist the changes. Simply specify a client-side event like onclick to allow the user to edit. It supports RichText and MultiLine editing.
The DotNetNuke Text Suggest control is an open-source ASP.NET WebControl that allows any textbox to suggest the results the user is looking for by dynamically populating a menu of matched items.
The DotNetNuke Tab Strip control is an open-source ASP.NET WebControl that allows a page to be displayed in a tabular manner. It supports 3 rendering modes, including AJAX on-demand loading to allow for optimal performance.
The DotNetNuke ToolBar control is an open-source ASP.NET WebControl that allows a toolbar to be attached to any control.

TabStrip Rendering Document Complete

Feb 4

Posted by: Jon Henning
2/4/2007

The DNNTabStrip control has been under development for quite some time.  The original document was written in August of 2006.  I am happy to announce that I was able to finish the final chapter for it just a couple hours before the Super Bowl (Go Bears!).  Chapter 6 deals with the two callback methods available, detailing under what situations you would choose one over the other.  Here is the introduction.

The ClientAPI currently supports two different types of Callbacks:  Simple and ProcessPage.  The difference between these lies in how much of the default ASP.NET page’s lifecycle is run before it is short-circuited.  The following diagrams illustrate the differences.

For a CallbackType of Simple the grayed out boxes are skipped.

For a CallbackType of ProcessPage, all the same events that happen in a normal PostBack occur.  The difference is in how much information is processed.  For example, only the tab’s HTML is rendered.

You can read the document in its entirety here.

Please note that the code discussed in this document along with the samples have not been published or released yet.

Re: TabStrip Rendering Document Complete

Hi Jon:

Saw the TabStrip demo on the WebControls project page and loved it. I downloaded the latest beta (1.4) and I had problems using it with DNN 4.3.5

I keep getting a runtime error stating that a particular signature for DotNetNuke.UI.Utilities.ClientAPI.GetCallbackEventReference() cannot be found. So I looked at the DotNetNuke.WebUtility dll and the method was not there. However, in the TabStrip sample app, the method is there.

I cannot figure out why the method wouldbe in one dll and not the other when they are both the same version (3.2).

Could you please tell me if I am doing something wrong, or if the WebControls beta is compatible with DNN 4.3.5 ?

Thanks

Re: TabStrip Rendering Document Complete

Being a beta I have not tried verifying what versions work with what DNN versions. My suggestion is to use the webutility included with the sample. Soon there will be a real release of the webcontrols.
